Renaissance Faire

Boy that was fun, the Renaissance faire at Irwindale (right at the Santa Fe Dam recreation area) was packed with people from all sorts of reanactment type associations and a definitely dedicated audience.Medieval Tournaments, all sorts of medieval and renaissance commerces and shops, people in character with their beautiful period costumes...I have to say everybody was really nice and willing to give all sorts of information about the period they were representing and everything else you were curious about.I nearly finished a whole sketchpad there, of which you can see three samples in the next three posts.

Oh what a -lovely- weekend that sounds like! I remember attending the one in VA a couple years ago; even dressed up for it. The drawings are absolutely lovely! So full of character and atmosphere --really brings back just how fun and energetic it must have been, as Ren Faires so often are.

Sounds nice!! And the Don Tartaglia is really something!!By the way, thank you for your lllovely message on my blog ;)Don't worry, I'm resting up today and enjoying an entire day purely 'existing' on the couch....hehehehe.

You never cease to amaze. These drawings are beautiful. When I look at your drawings I can actually get a feel and a vision of the actual person who was in front of you. All the shapes and personality are just dead on. I hope I get there someday. Please keep it comin.
